Also, different armspeeds, grips and throwing styles produce different flight numbers than the disc is issued.

While context is key, this sounds like you're saying stats are irrelevant irregardless. The flight characteristic is most certainly affected by any number of variables, but to say that "different flight numbers" are "produced" is pure heresy. In that light, we forget that outside influences aside, that the disc in it's pure form and flight will achieve exactly what it is saying; thus giving us a basis to manage said variables.

Put a sticker on the disc at the store that shows the numbers, then it is just easily removed when you buy it. I really don't care what the numbers are after that point, rather just how it flies.

I won't buy a disc if it has the flight ratings on it. Some people say I have OCD.

when i started playing they had a little 2inch by like 12inch folded paper that said the numbers and flight characteristics on all the current discs....im not sure when they quit doing it...i think i still have a few of them...

Can anyone tell me when Innova started putting flight numbers on the discs? I noticed that every pre-numbers champ disc I have has better plastic, and is molded more consistently. For example: I have a pre-# 161g Starfire that is super overstable, like a Starfire should be. I got a newer 175g one that was a domey, unpredictable p.o.s. My pre-# champ Sidewinder hyzered into concrete pretty hard the other day, barely left a mark. Newer champ Eagle and Firebird have not held up as well. I have been wanting to check out a champ Desroyer, were they made pre-flight #s?
